"Dragon Ball Super: Broly" - Animation Hub [Updated: 20/07]

It’ll be interesting to see if this movie can manage to receive a wider release in the United States compared to BoG and RF. I’m not expecting a full wide release, but given that Super seems to be pretty popular over here, it wouldn’t completely surprise me.

That would be amazing to see as a Dragon Ball fan.

Thoughts:

I love those coats!
All these Goku designs look much better than the one in the teaser. Now I hope that Pirate Goku in the teaser was just something off-model, because they still weren't used to the new style.

Freeza has better curves than all female characters Toriyama draws nowadays. I'm curious to see how the female characters will look in Shintani style.
Hopefully Caulifla/Kale make the cut.

We shall see if the U6 Sayians are going to be in this film. I like the new characters and wonder what role will they have for the film.

Yup, we know Onishi was really off-model on that teaser

Another look at the designs.



I really like the natural flow of the lines. The postures just feel like everything makes sense, especially in how the clothes hang on Gokuu and Vegeta. As Vegeta is unzipping his jacket the placement of his arms really got my attention. It's so photogenic.

[Super Saiyan Swagger]

Love these designs so much. Goku looks great in that large drawing with his arms stretched out.

[FortuneSSJ]

People that say they look younger are right.
The inspiration on Freeza arc instead of the Buu arc designs is easily noticeable, but whatever I approve this.

They look fine to me, but I understand why people are saying that the characters in Super are getting younger instead of older.

[cuartas]

I like the fact that since the first design reveal, the characters are becoming progressively more angular, it's not buu designs, but they're getting closer

Not diggin' much his face, but I guess animated will look all right.

We shall hope so.

Probably this is the best place to ask this:
Do you guys think we're going to see some Toriyama designs for this movie? Back when Yammamuro was in charge, they sometimes released some original design from Tori, is it going to be the same with Shintani? Because their styles look pretty similair, so it would be hard to tell which one is the author with new characters like Leto, Kikono etc...

Same! I really hope that is the one Nakazawa used as reference when he came to sculpting these, I'd love to print the scan off and display it behind a figure of it! Speaking of, Shintani looks to have definitely given Nakazawa a lot of references to pick from unlike Yamamuro for ResF which lead to the same poses being regurgitated for all the ResF figures.

I am really interested to see what Shintani's Golden Freeza looks like, I think the over shininess actually benefits that form.

This interview answers your question. They will be showing off Toriyama's designs for the film over time.

Thanks! I can't belive I didn't remember this

What was the aim in having a renewal of the character designs?
Toriyama-sensei‘s own Dragon Ball art style has changed, and compared to the past, they’ve become a bit slimmer. Our image for the designs was Toriyama-sensei‘s idea of Dragon Ball “now”

Considering I despise Toriyama's current art when compared to his older self, I'm surprised I like these designs as much as I do.
Unlike what some people like to think, Yamamuro isn't the only one that got much worse over time.

By the way, they did a smart choice with SSB Vegeta. The previous blue armour from Cell arc didn't go well with SSB when he didn't have an aura. Make his outfit dark blue solves that problem.
He's perfect now. Even better than he was with his new outfit in ROF.

I know there has been a little bit of controversy around the choice for Freeza's eye shapes. I personally thought that Shintani was drawing influence from minus(he may have), but I think the most pure example that people have bought up of Freeza sporting the new design eyes in his final form previously, is funnily enough shown in the first reveal panel for Freeza's final form in the manga.

Talk about being manga accurate.

Still a little strange that he used such an early reference for his more front on eye shape, and it still strike me as peculiar how his side profile sports his typical look.

I don't have a problem with the eyes but I don't like to remind myself of Minus.

Since these designs started coming out and Shintani's style feels like a update version of Maeda's, I've been rewatching a lot the fight scenes of the first 2 DBZ Movies.
World Strongest in particular still stands out as one of best DB Movies when it comes to action.

Hopefully the fights have great choreography with some martial arts. It would be a waste of these designs otherwise.
I'm expecting a lot of ki blast and explosions, but I also would like to have more technique.

Needless to say, if they are serious in making this the best looking DB Movie ever, horrible CGI like this is out of question.

Okay,so here are those people,whom I want to see animating on the new movie,but not confirmed yet:

Ryo Onishi-One of Toei's best.Since Nagamine is the Director,and the fact that he didn't pop out in any Toei show recently,probably means,that he is working on the new movie right now.

Masayuki Sato-If I am right,he's a freelancer.He was the AD for One Piece film Z.He is a really great action animator [spoiler]https://www.sakugabooru.com/post/show/10532 https://www.sakugabooru.com/post/show/38068[/spoiler] He is really close to Nagamine

Hisashi Mori-Wonderful effect animator.He is also close to Nagamine

Kazunori Osawa-Tweeted some stuff to Hashimoto,while he was at the new Toei building.Master of Explosions.

Ken Otsuka-I think we can count on him.He's mecha-like animation is really great.

Naoki Tate-Why not? These designs are perfect for him.

Futoshi Higashide-I really want to see his maximum.

Kazuhiro Ota-Haven't seen him a while.Maybe he's working on the DB movie? (Or on the new OP special?)

Takeo Ide-He is Dragon Ball's second most important person,so it is obvious to me that he is gonna animate something,or he is gonna be an Animation Supervisor

A lot of people from PreCure,please

I've tried to be realistic,that's why I did not mention names like Yutaka Nakamura,Kameda,etc.
